Solid Waste Facility
Northern Tier Solid Waste Authority
108 Steam Hollow, Troy, PA 16947
(570) 297-4177A small regional solid waste facility in Troy that locals use for household trash, yard debris and some recycling. It sits on Steam Hollow and sees a mix of cars, pickups and small commercial trucks most days.
A simple entrance with a booth and a visible scale nearby; expect to slow down and stack up behind other vehicles sometimes. The yard has piles and containers spread out, with room to pull up close to drop points but tight turning for long trailers. Weekend mornings and spring cleanup times get the longest lines, so plan for some waiting if arriving then.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure loose material with a tarp or tie-downs so nothing blows out while moving through the site.
- Wear sturdy shoes and gloves - ground can be uneven and there’s usually debris around the drop areas.
- If hauling a trailer, leave extra room for turning and consider bringing someone to spot while backing in.
